Mop holder



.1. CANINO MOP HOLDER Nov. 7, 1933.

Filed June 24, 1932 Inventor ends of the limbs of the yoke 4,

Patented Nov. 7, 1933 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 1 Claim. (Cl. 3061) This invention relates to a mop holder, the general object of the invention being to provide means whereby mopping material can be easily and quickly attached to a holder or released therefrom, with means for attaching a handle to the holder.

This invention also consists-in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and specifically pointed out in the appended claim.

In describing the invention in detaiLreference will be had to the accompanying drawing wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which:

Figure 1 is a front View of the device.

Fig. 2 is an edge view thereof.

Fig. 3 is a sectionon line 33 of Fig. 2.

In these views, the numeral 1 indicates the head of a holder which is of elongated form, and of substantially rectangular shape with a groove 2 in its lower edge for receiving the looped por tion of the mop forming member 3. A yokeshaped rod 4 has its limbs passing through holes 5 formed in the head 1 and passing vertically therethrough, so that the bight part of the rod will lie in the groove 2, and, as shown, the mop material is looped over said bight portion. A plate 6 is fastened to the upper edge of the member 1 and has holes therein through which the threaded ends of the limbs of the rod 4 pass.

Thumb nuts 7 are threaded on the projecting for holding the yoke in position for clamping the mop material in the groove. A socket member 8 is connected with the central part of the plate by an extension 9 and a bracket 10 connects that part of the socket member opposite the extension 9, with the plate and head as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.

Flange 11 is formed at one edge of the plate and the extension 9 of the member 8 has its lower end rigidly connected with the center part of the flange. The upper end of the bracket 10 extends through a hole in the socket member and is bent downwardly to connect the bracket with the,

socket member as shown more particularly in From the I have provided simple means for holding mop material so that floors or the like can be readily mopped, with means whereby the mop material can be readily attached to the head of the device foregoing it will be seen that or removed therefrom. It will be apparent that the nuts 7 clamp the plate 6 against the head 1, and by virtue of this the yoke 4 assists materially in the strong connection of the plate 6 and the socket member 8 to the head 1.

It will of course be understood that a suitable handle 12 is adapted to be inserted into the mop member 8.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of the invention will be readily apparent.

It is to be understood that changes may be made in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claim.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is:-

In means for the purpose described and in combination, an elongated head, a plate secured to the upper side of said head and having a flange on one edge, a handle receiving socket member having an extension at its lower end and one side fixed with respect to the central portion of said flange and also having an aperture in its wall at its opposite side, with respect to said extension and spaced above its lower end, and a bracket extending through said aperture of the socket member and downwardly within the socket member and having its outer end portion superimposed on and connected to the plate at one side of the socket member.
